About us
If you’re constantly stressed but don’t want to do yoga, chant in a studio, or burn incense, you’re in the right place.
Men today are under more pressure than ever.
Work. Family. Finances. Health. Expectations.
And most men were never taught how to properly manage stress before it turns into burnout, anger, anxiety, or exhaustion.
They were taught to “push through.”
I’m Manny, a tactical breath instructor, combat veteran, and the founder of Tactical Calm. After working with men for several years, I started noticing a major gap.
When it comes to stress relief, calm, and nervous system regulation, men are left with two extremes.
- On one side, we have the gym, boxing bags, rage rooms, and “blow off steam” culture.
- On the other, we have yoga studios, meditation retreats, and spiritual wellness spaces.
But there’s almost nothing in the middle.
No practical, comfortable place for everyday men to learn how to slow down, decompress, and reset without feeling out of place.
If a man wants to learn how to breathe properly and regulate stress, he’s often faced with: healing his inner child, twisting into a pretzel, or joining the spandex circus.
And while yoga and meditation are incredibly effective for many people, they’re not for everyone. Most men will simply never walk through those doors.
This is the exact problem Tactical Calm was created to solve.
I offer a space for men who want calm, focus, and control without all the awkwardness.
Rooted in principles from a Slavic martial art called Systema and supported by modern performance science, Tactical Calm teaches simple, real-world breathing and relaxation skills that work under real pressure.
Here, you’ll learn how to:
- Calm your nervous system on demand
- Lower stress and mental overload
- Recover faster from long, demanding days
- Build a daily baseline of calm and clarity
- Stay grounded during difficult conversations and high-pressure moments
Originally intended for special operations forces and elite tactical teams, these techniques are designed to establish poise and control under some of the harshest and most demanding conditions.
You’ll train in a supportive, judgment-free environment with men from all walks of life who are all working toward the same goal: becoming calmer, stronger, and more grounded versions of themselves.
If you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or constantly “on edge,” you don’t have to keep carrying it alone.
Join the group.
Come to a session.
Try it once.
Even if you never return, you’ll leave with tools you can use for the rest of your life.
And chances are, you’ll want to come back.
Welcome to Tactical Calm.
